Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man divorced his wife and then took her back, and he gave her a sum of money to soothe her feelings. However, he has a second wife who is demanding the same amount from him. Does she have a right to it?
Answer:
Giving her something satisfactory is a matter of averting harm and removing misunderstanding. However, it is not obligatory. What is obligatory for her is only financial maintenance, clothing, housing, and cohabitation. Anything beyond that is a matter of good conduct and soothing feelings.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
